This '72 Javelin SST, belonging to Roger S. of Massachusetts (his lovely assistant in cleaning the car is Kim Petrelis), was the favorite car in the show for both my brother and myself. The cleanliness of the mods was terrific, the modifications choices often surprising but always pleasing, and the stout 401 (backed by a 4-speed and 4.11 gears) rumbled with a sound much like my own Javelin's mill. It made me wish my car was ready to show.

The stock turn signals were lost when the front spoiler was added, so trailer side-marker lites were added into the stock grille. The bumpers had their bolt heads shaved before being painted to match the body.

The stock gauges and dash face were tossed in favor of hi-quality aftermarket units on a brushed-aluminum face. The underhood was cleaned up and treated to lots of chrome, colored anodized connections and braided steel lines....and a pair of quads!

The rest of these pics are not arranged in any real particular order, except that I tried to group body-types somewhat. Comments are few, but I'll add more later. I apologize for neglecting to get the names of the car owners, or even specifics about the car's years and such. I'm open to correction on anything said here.

I found the Ambassador a real beauty while the purple Classic was....err.......interesting!

This last American's color and paint needs to be seen in person to really be appreciated. It is gorgeous.

This black AMX was another ride that really got to my brother.

Of the 68/69 Javelins, the bottom, left car got me going best.

Just two of the three SC/Ramblers that showed up...all were in phenomenal shape.

The left '70 AMX had an abundance of extra '360' and 'AMX' markings (note front spoiler), but is otherwise a sharp car, as the red one is, too.

The bronze Donohue was gleaming, tho the color struck me odd....didn't quite seem like the Bittersweet Orange *I* know....Still it, and the Trans Am are welcome in my driveway any day.

Now, here's my soft spot...Humpsters!! The green '71 sported a body-colored mesh in it's grille (neat!) and many other slick mods, while the Orange '72 was stock and damn proud of it...gorgeous!
